Êxodo 18:10 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 18:10

And Jethro said
Like a truly good man, as one that knew the Lord and feared him, and was desirous of giving him the praise and glory of all the wonderful things he had done:

blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the
Egyptians: and out of the hand of Pharaoh;
meaning particularly Moses and Aaron, the messengers of God, as Aben Ezra observes, who went to Pharaoh in the peril of their lives, and whom he sometimes threatened with death; but the Lord delivered them both out of his hands, and out of the hands of his ministers and people, who, doubtless, must be at times enraged at them for the plagues they brought upon them; for the persons here pointed at are manifestly distinguished from the body of the people of Israel next mentioned:

who hath delivered the people from the hand of the Egyptians:
the people of Israel, from the hard bondage and cruel slavery they were held under by the Egyptians; which, as it was the Lord's doing, Jethro gives him the glory of it, and blesses him for it, or ascribes to him, on account of it, blessing, honour, glory, and praise.

Êxodo 18:10 In-Context

8 Então Moisés contou ao sogro tudo quanto o SENHOR tinha feito ao faraó e aos egípcios por amor a Israel e também todas as dificuldades que tinham enfrentado pelo caminho e como o SENHOR os livrara.

9 Jetro alegrou-se ao ouvir todas as coisas boas que o SENHOR tinha feito a Israel, libertando-o das mãos dos egípcios.

10 Disse ele: “Bendito seja o SENHOR que libertou vocês das mãos dos egípcios e do faraó; que livrou o povo das mãos dos egípcios!

11 Agora sei que o SENHOR é maior do que todos os outros deuses, pois ele os superou exatamente naquilo de que se vangloriavam”.

12 Então Jetro, sogro de Moisés, ofereceu um holocausto e sacrifícios a Deus, e Arão veio com todas as autoridades de Israel para comerem com o sogro de Moisés na presença de Deus.
